Omg I am so glad they arrived in good condition, I was worried they would somehow get moisture damage or something XD <3 I am so happy he likes them ^^
Shipping time for my cool packs have changed (had to get from a different place *rolls eyes*) so they should be here around April 20th-25th. Will let everyone know when I am ready to send out <3
Ok so I know the cool pack ordering took longer than expected but I am ordering it right now, it is supposed to be here on the 18th... hopefully it will be, then I will be sending out the orders that have already been asked for. And if anyone else wants any message me. I will be testing, the...
So Teo checked out ok. He no longer has an RI. Has been burying himself completely on and off most nights, and then he also tends to sleep in his house now. The last few nights I have not been using the CHE to check how he does. He seems to be doing fine, will move into his house a few minutes...
The cool packs likely won't be able to be ordered for around a week or so... But I will get them to me as quickly as possible when I do get the cash to order them. I just gotta wait for my next payment. Afterwards I am pretty much able to send everything out quickly after that. I will be...
XD lol, I am specially happy to share my edible plants, probably wouldn't charge as much as I should... I do it with my various species of insects I raise for my other reptiles too. A lot of people don't have the ability to raise insects like I can but they get them from me as occasional change...
Not sure who the breeder was. Probably our local tortoise rescue runner that has the occasional hatchlings. I ended up buying him at 2 years of age from a local pet store in our area who keeps animals rather well but needed him to be moved because he was too big for his enclosure, so I took him...
But Teo is not picky with fresh veggies or greens... I don't know why everyone else has so many problems o.O maybe I just got super lucky with him. I know at the pet store I got him from his diet was super limited. I do not have another tort in my life so I have never experienced the...
I have tons of herbs I grow that I offer my torts (that are tort safe of course) cilantro is one of them, I always make sure to offer it with regular greens, and only offer a small palmful of mixed herbs with a handful and a half of regular greens.
As long as they get good natural sun and get watered regularly they will do fine. I use fertilizer for my plants from my various insects I raise, I use superworms and roach frass.
Oh and if you want something else I grow and I have it at the time I will send it. I have a bunch of stuff that my single Hermann's cannot go through on his on. I have californian poppies, the mulberry of course, hibiscus flowers when they pop up, camellia (which I feed a few petals of to Teo...
I never thought of dehydrating the leaves.... considering I have a dehydrator, several types of edible cacti for torts, the mulberry trees, poppies, and several other types of plants that I regularly grow that aren't even leaves, it sounds like a smart things to do.
Sure thing I will send a pm/message when I have everything I need. Teo (my Tort) absolutely loves them, though he only goes through one or two of the larger leaves in one feeding because he usually gets something else with it and the larger leaves are huge.
Supposedly if I ship them with a cool pack and you immediately put them in the fridge they might last around 2 weeks?
I have to order some cool packs for doing so but I should be able to get some to you soon then. I have two trees and they just start putting out leaves so I will have a lot for...
I have a huge amount of mulberry leaves growing on my own personal trees. No pesticides used, and completely organic. I use them to feed my tort and my silkworms. I am not sure how I would send them fresh to you? Do have a good idea off the top of your head? If not I could probably look it up ^^
So we likely won't be able to invest much into building Teo's outdoor enclosure (other than saving for it) until we move to our own house, which likely won't happen until at least around next year sometime. But I want to start thinking about it now, especially since Teo is still relatively...
